About Amestris Cover Group 【Love Live, Vocaloid, Jpop】

Welcome to the cover group Amestris’ Casting Call!

What is Amestris?

Amestris is a Japanese cover group. We won’t be focusing only on Love Live, but also on Vocaloid songs and maybe even Jpop in general, so there will be quite a variety! There may be a chance that English covers will be inserted in the future of this group, but it hasn’t even started so let's not talk about that yet.

Where did the name ‘Amestris’ come from?

There was originally a Love Live cover group that one of our directors was in, but unfortunately it went AFK after the first cover last year.

Cast/Character Talk!

There will be 7 members in total, compared to the usual nine in Love Live groups. There will be subunits for LL covers. One will have 3 members while two will be a duo.

The odd subunit lineup. We decided it would not be fair if the ‘Cool’ group got Bibi and Guilty Kiss covers, the same goes for the other two as well.

The Idols!

Most of their Info will be on their casting boards but to simplify it, here are the members with their names and who’s their Love Live counterpart is (Aqours and Muse)

Ayaka Kaneko : Honoka, Chika

Hikaru Natsukawa : Eli, You

Yoruko Kobayashi : Maki, Hanamaru

Rei Akai : Kotori, Dia

Sae Suzuki : Hanayo, RIko

Naoki Umeda : Nico, Mari

Mikuru Kanagawa : Umi, Kanan

If you wonder about the personalities or appearances given or are not fond of a certain part character’s personality/look please do not worry. The cast will have the choice to change up the character’s appearance as long as it doesn't stray too far from her role. The looks are only placeholders in case the cast wants to fix them up. On the topic of the cast changing characters’ appearances, apart from a placeholder look and personality, the cast are fully allowed to write up a backstory for these characters.

For the people who were wondering about the vocaloid part of this group, here are the designated voice roles! These can be swapped around but for choruses, this is the usual line up:

Ayaka Kaneko : Miku Hatsune

Hikaru Natsukawa : Rin Kagamine

Yoruko Kobayashi : Luka Megurine

Rei Akai : Len Kagamine

Sae Suzuki : GUMI

Naoki Umeda : KAITO

Mikuru Kanagawa : MEIKO

*Please note. We may be doing vocaloid solo songs. In that scenario, the cast can choose whatever song they wish that fits the character.

Now setting the characters aside, let’s focus more on the technical and writing side of this project.

There will be character introductions and a story to follow. It won’t be very frequent but from the planned schedule, we will release small stories, in similar fashion to SIF (School Idol Festival)’s

Every 3-4 months. This can change but for now we keep it like that, so that the cast isn’t flooded with deadlines.

What about Artists, Animators,Mixers and Scriptwriters?

We already have one of each but it would be very helpful to expand the staff. To sign up for staff positions, here’s the form:

Good mic quality. We don’t mind a little white noise during recordings but please make sure your voice is clear. Echos are not really recommended but if its a small one, we can edit those out. Please make sure your voice volume stays relatively the same when during choruses.

We will be using Discord to communicate so please do have an account, as that would be very helpful.

Please respect others’ auditions and other members. Negativity and stirring up too much drama will get you recasted. A light tease or joke is okay but please don’t take it too far.

Please be committed to the group. We don’t want casted members to suddenly disappear, we will be worried. If you had indeed lost interest in the group, please message one of the directors.

Ayaka herself is a very stubborn and snappy person, especially when she doesn’t get her way. Its not to the spoiled brat kind of way, she has her reasons but won’t resort to violence. She gets interested in multiple things/activities at one time but will get bored easily and will go back to laying around alone on an empty bench on the school courtyard. She’s one to jump to conclusion really quickly and is easily prone to gossip, this caused some of her classmates to get slightly annoyed and leave her out on some of their activities. Ayaka herself is a bright girl but she’s afraid that people won’t want to be friends with her, so plays the goofball.Her only close friend would be Hikaru Natsukawa although, they don't see each other very often these days.

Hikaru is a pretty sporty person. Despite this, she isn’t in any clubs but is usually a helpful sparring partner for multiple clubs (ie, baseball, basketball, tennis, etc). If she’s not helping the sports clubs practicing, she helps distributing worksheets and books to the classrooms or the library. She’s quite popular with the people in her grade and her upperclassmen. She tries to make space for everyone’s requests, and just can’t say “No”. She’s usually not impulsive, but had the ability to fight back. She is one to follow what a majority says. This causes her to rarely hang out with her childhood friend Ayaka Kaneko, as some of the classmates aren’t exactly fond of her.

Yoruko is a charming yet laid back girl. She knows how to waltz her way into any conversation whether she knows what they were talking about or not. Despite being visually pretty and easy to approach, she’s surprisingly a loner in class, only having a few really close friends she trusts from other classes or out of their campus. She gets mediocre grades, Yoruko herself knows she can do better but feels as if it were a pain and gave up a long time ago. That being said, she tries to help or at the very least give advice to others who are struggling.

Sae is a bit on the bookworm side. But the books she usually reads are of the comedy or fantasy genre, and a lot of manga from the shoujo genre. She often takes notes of what is happening at the very moment. She’s quite picky with some things (ie, books, games or food). She likes to crack jokes, mostly puns worthy of the name ‘Dad puns’. She can get embarrassed pretty quickly if she trips over nothing.

Rei being the Honor student and grade representative, has interacted with everyone at the school more than once. That doesn’t mean everyone is fond of her. Her rather uptight and starkey remarks have made her quite distant from those of her age or her schoolmates in general. She is very diligent to what she does, and often is the last to leave the campus. She has a good reputation with the staff, she prints exercises and reports wrongdoing. When she isn’t doing any of that, she watches the different clubs from a distance. She aims for the position of Vice student council president next year.

Naoki would be easily described by her peers as “Weird” and “In her own world”. Her more loud exterior she displays, in a way, makes it harder to approach her. She would give her all at her assessments and clubs but she easily gives in to procrastination and other activities. After class, she likes to hang out with her old friends from her previous school, often seen at arcades or cafes with them. Despite this, Naoki is a good listener and will gladly sit through 3 hours of ranting or complaining for a friend, but she can’t give advice as she’s unsure how to word and express it.

Mikuru, even before joining Amestris, was already in the arts, being a child actress and model. She has this motherly aura around the group, and she will spoil them if necessary.She often carries a small bottle of perfume, sprays the area around her/people if she smells something out of place. She is a big fan of romance/harem light novels and can be caught reading one in the corner of a room, daydreams often of scenarios. Is very open about what she thinks. Despite this, she is very focused on things she has interest in and won't hesitate to hit someone on the head with a book. This creativity and focus is what got her starring in multiple TV dramas.
